Official UC Irvine Fall 2017 Transfer Applicant Thread

@babysnow I had friends in the exact same position when we were applying as freshmen. If you SIR to UCR and you get accepted into UCI, if you SIR to UCI, you’ll have to pay a fine for voiding your SIR to UCR. However, if you wait and don’t SIR to UCR and you don’t get off the waitlist, you would lose your spot to riverside.

@babysnow i think i was waitlisted for two weeks at UCI? no, don’t SIR yet, because the fee is non-refundable. you have until the month to SIR anyway. accept the waitlist and hopefully they’ll get back to you soon!!!

@babysnow the SIR fee at UCR is $250 so I wouldn’t recommend doing that if you’re leaning towards UCI.

I can’t believe it. Just got accepted!!!

@CaffreyH congratulations! Yay! I guess this means they are starting? Well, tell us more! What is your major? How did you find out? Are you gonna go? :slight_smile:

@CaffreyH WOW CONGRATS!! YAY!! :slight_smile: I’ve seen very few people on this thread get accepted, it was like once a day or every few days the past week!! I wonder how the ordering works or why they’re sending them out one by one.

I checked on myadmissions at midnight , somehow it says I got admitted.

Hi guys, does anyone know if there’s a separate event for Transfer Admits? Like UCI Transfer day? Where we can go, tour, ask questions etc etc like UCSD has? Aside from the “open house” day this Saturday?

Only for orientation is what I see. https://www.orientation.uci.edu/index.php?type=transfers

Transfer Success is a 1-day orientation designed to help new transfer students make a smooth transition to life at UCI with information about UCI resources, opportunities to meet current UCI students and other new transfers, and a chance to ask all your questions before classes begin!

Transfer Student Parent Orientation Program (T-SPOP) is a comprehensive 2-day, 1-night orientation program that includes all the elements of Transfer Success, plus many social activities and a second day of workshops on a range of helpful topics for new transfer students.

@gabyitzelq1 thanks, I have tagged ucr for bus adm with gpa 3.59. I don’t know what’s my chances for uci actually.

Has anyone else gotten any acceptances? The wait is killing me haha

When they send out one or two acceptances per day to get your hope up.

@futureanteater97 not me :’( I keep checking my admissions page every 5 minutes! This is torture.

Major: Sociology
GPA: 4.0

@jrobles88 I keep checking too! I already annoyed UC Irvine Admissions and UCI’s main account on Facebook, asking them if there is a projected date for the admissions :frowning: It’s so hard to be patient haha
I think you are solid though… 4.0 is as good as it gets!
Still tough to wait but I’m crossing my fingers we’ll both know very soon!

Major: Psych & Social Behavior
Alt. Major: Public Health Policy
GPA: 3.22

Nothing for me.

Something is telling me that they are on the last round of TAG, and regular acceptances are gonna roll out right after that. Almost there you guys!

@futureanteater97 I’m hoping we hear back soon too. I wish they would just give us a specific date, you know? I would still stress, but at least it would help a bit with the anxiety lol

Good luck! :slight_smile: Hopefully we both get in! I’m just waiting on Irvine and LA!

@lenocturne So you think maybe today or tomorrow?

Same. I wish they could be more transparent about whole process. I am just so tired of waiting.

Is anyone here going to celebrate UCI? Preferably those who sir’d or going to sir if they get accepted
